Hi, I've been recently thinking about deleting CFW on my Nintendo switch, but I'm not sure about it, so I hope someone can answer this for me:

If I delete CFW, can I go back online as before?

Is my saved data being deleted?

And could this risk my console to brick?

Thanks, and again, would appreciate it if someone could answer these questions. ^_^

Yes

Cfw if emunand it's separate from sysnand so deleting emunand yes saves only in emunand will be gone

Nope as it's all ran from SD card

If your CFW is on your SDCARD (it should be), you don't have to delete anything. Just boot normally, without a payload. The option to use CFW should always be there, but it won't get in the way of using your Nintendo Switch the way the company intended.

This advice assumes that you use emuNAND and use a jig/payload to boot (which is standard). If you can provide more information we can tailor the message.

If you enabled use of autoRCM, that would be the only thing you'd need to change back.

You will be unable to use savedata created in CFW (emuNAND/emuMMC) with legit (sysNAND/MMC). They are seperate systems using seperate game files. You really shouldn't delete anything.
